    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    They probably figured that this would be about the only server to really use the code, at the time. They thought that if they could not write code that actually could make the game fun and interesting, that nobody could. They never considered competent coders taking advantage of the same people...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Always love the videos that exaggerate what actually is. The control arms are not made up of just plastic. Hey Google "Are the Control Arms of a new Dodge Ram 1500 made up of only plastic"? No, the Ram 1500's upper control arms are not entirely plastic. They utilize a composite material with...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I have often wondered. If every person actually did not over spend their means, would capitalism work? How few companies would exist if people never bought 8 dollar coffees and the latest Iphone? What if people never used Grubhub or doordash because clearly that is over paying for food? There...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I think about going to the gym. The problem is I live in a college town. Students do not care about being a little sick and still going out. I am not overly concerned about Covid but I do not like getting the flu. Gyms can be a very easy place to get sick from during the colder months. I just go...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    That is changing. Not sure if you have noticed, but a lot of places are beginning to add 3% upcharges to a service or item if a credit card is used. I started using cash again in a lot of places now. This is where we differ a bit. My wife and I lived in a house that was just over 1000sq ft. It...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    Yeah my mortgage is 8 months in advance. I have an emergency fund that draws some interest and a house fund that does the same. I also keep a petty fund(Couple of thousand) at the house that I often rotate through as expenses come up. Once the house is paid off, I will add a medical fund that...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I would be out in the street if 50k a month was what I needed to manage my retirement. That equals what me and my wife make as a salary in like 3 months? That is way beyond anything I am going to entertain. We live a life of service that happens to take care of us better than most in this...

    I am really enjoying Season 3. It has a nice pace that does not bog down hardly at all.

    Wednesday

    This season is not as good. I am not a fan of the actor playing her brother. He has that " You want to just punch him" quality. The story is not that good in that they dredge up the past season to correlate with it. I wish they would have just let the bad guys go and started something completely...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Yeah she made the conscious decision to be there for her children. I do not fault her in the least. I bet there are many many mothers that wish they could do the same thing. Honestly I think our society would be better for it. Her children are grown and now she is getting back into acting.

    Yeah I was also kind of not understanding the Reboot thing. I kind of wonder if that is a legal decision more than a choice.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    So apparently the reboot is happening. Since we never had this title in the past, I just started this with the old image. It can be redone later. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14983909/Sarah-Michelle-Geller-makeover-reboot-Buffy.html I enjoyed both this series and Angel a lot...

    You guys ever drink powerade?

    The only time I consider drinking Powerade or Gatorade is when I am sick. For whatever reason, I can tolerate the flavor better when I have a fever. If not sick, I always just drink water. I occasionally will have some rootbeer over ice.

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    Te be clear, your definition of work and what my current job is, are two different things. Yes I am in an office monitoring a SCADA system for the waste water facility I currently work at. However, I have the pleasure of being able to watch anything I want or play video games as I do this. I...

    Perhaps you missed the part where I said my job is not stressful. I literally can play games and watch Netflix while monitoring a SCADA system. What you described is the one aspect of my job I will not do.....supervision. The pay is not worth the much higher increase to stress level that comes...

    I work for the city government. I am not getting pushed out. I should have said people will not save that much money for the very reason you stated. People want the new cars, and new phones, with a daily Starbucks coffee. People rarely look that far ahead, or you have people like me who took a...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I think that if you work a job that is not stressful, there is no problem doing it til a person is 66. Now I speak of the average person. If you are wealthy, then you can do whatever you want within the law. Most people will not be able to save 1+ million(With Adjustments to inflation) by the...

    Ashes of Creation

    Well when A1 was finished, I had said 2026. I am afraid I was wrong, as I feel it is more like late 2027 now. They are moving very slowly. They said on the stream that the company employs 250 people. Now of course all of those people are not game developers, but I would think at least half are...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I plan to work until 66. My job is pretty easy and has little stress. The only down side to it is the inability to enjoy a certain plant due to random testing. Even after I retire, I might still do part time. Part Timers at the plant just cover for need of a license or extra body. They do even...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I think GTA 6 and Witcher 4 are the next step up in graphics. I imagine that is part of the reason for the delays for GTA 6. If you cannot come up on Cyberpunk 2077, then why release the game?

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    So what would happen if the dev team just shut down the for-profit aspect of the server? I assume they have made their money on it. Make it free now with no pay feature? What if the Developers just used 3rd party sites to acquire money? That exists already on the DBG servers. It is half the...

    I like it. The Widowmaker 3.5 is fun. It works on the Joro Spiders that have infested the state of Georgia. On the big ones it might take a couple extra shots. I do not have many flies but I look forward to at least stunning a giant cockroach. Its feels well made. The red dot was already fairly...

    The Sandman

    I liked it well enough. There were some parts that were weak. I actually enjoyed the last story, better than the main one. I will say it is interesting how it appears that 50% of the population is gay in that world. I feel like that would have a detrimental effect on population growth.
